From the spacious open plan kitchen/dining/living area, to the inviting sun room featuring walls of windows, to the one-of-a-kind custom screened-in porch with an extensive surrounding deck, this home offers true comfort and tranquility in a natural setting. This is an exceptional residence nestled in the heart of Bethesda’s coveted Bannockburn neighborhood, where timeless architecture, thoughtful craftsmanship, and cutting-edge sustainability come together to create a truly remarkable home.

Set on a beautifully landscaped nearly 15,000-square-foot lot, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence offers an extraordinary blend of comfortable living, sophisticated updates, and serene natural surroundings. Bannockburn is renowned for its strong sense of community, tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and enviable proximity to parks, trails, recreation, and downtown Bethesda. From this exceptional location, Merrimack and Bannockburn neighborhood pools, Glen Echo Park, Merrimack Park, downtown Bethesda, and the Capital Crescent Trail are all close at hand. The historic Bannockburn Clubhouse, home to a nursery school and frequent neighborhood gatherings and events, including the 70-year-old tradition of the annual Bannockburn Spring Show, further contributes to the community’s distinctive character.

Step inside to a foyer with a coat closet and an abundance of natural light. The inviting living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with built-ins and flows effortlessly into the dining area and beautifully appointed kitchen, creating an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. An electronic window shade across the expansive front windows adds convenience and sophistication.

The thoughtfully renovated 2005 kitchen combines exceptional craftsmanship with environmentally conscious design. Custom sustainably harvested maple cabinetry, Avonite countertops utilizing recycled material, a recycled-glass tile backsplash, and a striking two-tiered island featuring a glass display cabinet and a lighted seating area -- all create a warm and distinctive aesthetic. The kitchen features a new induction cooktop, stainless-steel appliances (refrigerator, oven, microwave and newer dishwasher), two sinks each with a garbage disposal and a touchless primary faucet. A convenient pass-through and door connect the kitchen to the sun-drenched family room, creating an easy flow between the spaces. With soaring ceilings, a wall of custom built-ins, and three walls of windows, the family room is a spectacular gathering space overlooking the gardens.

A true highlight of the property is the large custom screened porch, completed in 2022. Expertly crafted with predominately Douglas fir timber, durable Trex flooring, integrated heaters, ceiling fan, and skylights, this extraordinary outdoor room extends the home’s living space well beyond its interior walls. It provides a beautiful setting for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing while overlooking the lush backyard.The adjoining deck is enhanced by integrated lighting and an ingenious open-channel flume extends from the porch into a rain chain, capturing and directing rainwater away from the house.

The upper level offers a peaceful primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet and day/night blackout shades. Two additional bedrooms provide abundant natural light and excellent closet space, with one also featuring day/night blackout shades. The beautifully renovated full bathroom features a Toto toilet with bidet, gorgeous tile and vanity while an additional half bath and two generous linen/storage closets add convenience.

The first lower level provides exceptional versatility, featuring a fourth bedroom for guests or an office with a built-in desk area and custom closet, a second full bathroom, and a utility/laundry room with a washer and dryer installed in 2021.

The newly completed 2025 basement renovation adds a bright, beautifully finished dimension to the home, with luxury vinyl plank flooring, an abundance of custom built-in cabinetry, and a generous pantry. Daylight filters into this inviting recreation space, creating a warm and welcoming setting for movie nights, games, exercise, hobbies, or relaxed gatherings with family and friends.

This home’s impressive commitment to energy efficiency, sustainability and healthy living is equally noteworthy. Major improvements include a high-efficiency HVAC system with geothermal heating and cooling (2021); an on-demand hot water heater (2021); solar panels (2019); a Tesla whole-home battery backup system (2021); replacement of older-style casement windows; and new insulation in the attic, in the crawl space beneath the family room floor, and above the garage ceiling. The garage has also been thoughtfully upgraded with a durable epoxy finish and premium wall-organization systems. A radon mitigation system was installed in 2024 in the basement level.

Outside, the beautifully fenced nearly 15,000-square-foot lot is a private garden oasis framed by mature dogwoods, azaleas, crape myrtles, and other established plantings. Native plant gardens surround the home, creating a lush, ever-changing landscape and a remarkable sense of privacy. Every side of the property offers a different garden view, while the backyard provides a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away from the bustle of everyday life.

This exceptional property embodies the beauty, community, and tranquility that define life in Bannockburn. Residents take pride in the neighborhood’s welcoming spirit, top-rated schools, abundant parks and trails, and convenient access to downtown Bethesda and Washington, D.C.

As longtime residents often say, “Bannockburn is less a place than it is a state of mind.” At 6500 Pyle Road, you have the opportunity not simply to own a beautiful home but to become part of that enduring tradition.
